Created by jgw@guru-international.com.au

I have created a hints file (adapted from the rhapsody file) which sort of works. There are four obvious problems​:

1. There is an issue with case sensitivity. Things like 'test -f' and   'cd' are case insensitive - i.e. makefile and Makefile look the same.   This can be resolved for makefiles by fiddling the firstmakefile   value in the hints file.

2. I have not had time to find out how to make Configure autorecognise   the platform (you have to manually select the macosx hints).

3. make test fails all over the place because IO/Handle and IO/File are   not found (./lib is not in @​INC). Running a good install (see problem   #4) resolves most of these isses and I get 97.35% sucessful.

4. make install fails to install subdirectories from ./lib and ./etc/IO/lib   Installing these by hand works but is a clumsy approach.

I will clean up the hints file (it includes the debugger at the moment) and try to tackle #2. Any help with #3 and #4 would be very much appreciated.
